@whynot_31, I am so excited for your viewing and your subsequent report to us :)

$2400 for a studio in Crown Heights... that is truly astonishing. I am curious to know just how big this studio is. Are you paying for the location/proximity to the subway, or for living in a "hip" area? As I reside on Nostrand, it is just a reminder of how a neighborhood can vary to extremes from block to block. This kind of thing makes me think I may have to find a new and cheaper 'hood when my current living situation expires.

Yes, you read correctly, they stated there are 3000 people who have expressed an interest in seeing one of the about 70 units.

Of those 3000, I wonder how many are simply curious about the interiors and how many are serious about renting (and in a financial position to do so). Also, considering the fact that many of us signed up on the 341EPW site several months ago, some of those who'd originally expressed interest may have found homes elsewhere by now.

Maybe those units are the ones with the balconies that allow one good views of the West Indian Day Parade?

My husband and I were just talking about the parade last night, wondering about those people who will move into 341EPW from other parts of NYC without reading or investigating much about the neighborhood. They're sure to experience something of a rude awakening come Labor Day weekend!

We saw the model unit in the photos above, so I didn't bother to take additional photos of it except for the master bath and kitchen. It has central air and its own compressor, and the renter would pay for electric.

It is going for $3800, plus $50 to rent a washer/dryer. Parking would be extra. They only have 7 units this large, and they might lease them all this weekend.

Despite being among the biggest units in the building, this unit was not large: it was about 950 sq ft.

However, If you were working in Manhattan for someplace like a bank (ie making about $180k), were young and just wanted a quick commute and some nightlife, such a units would work for you... Your partner (getting their MBA?) would have a place to study.

If they attract the demographic I described above, the turnover should be about 40% a year.

Saw a bunch of two bedrooms here. I thought the common spaces were unusually small for what they are asking. Also, if you want a washer/dryer in your apartment you will have to pay another $70/mo. otherwise you have to go outside the building to wash your clothes.

This might also appeal to international workers who want a place to live. I've noticed a lot of folks, especially from France, who are living in Brooklyn. It'll be interesting to see how many of these residents are families with young children. I wouldn't want to live there with a small baby considering most of the two bedrooms face the street.

I'm still hoping that there could be outdoor seating on EP on that space in front of what will become Capital One. Highly unlikely at this point of time I guess, but that is a lot of real estate right there.
